Steps done in the video:
- get an animation
- retarget it to a mixamo armature
!!IMPORTANT STEP
ROTATE X -90
APPLY TRASNFORMATIONS
- export the retarget animation as bvh
- TEST IMPORTING THAT ANIMATION TO SEE IF IT WILL BE CORRECTLY IMPORTED WHEN USING "Forward -Z / Up Y"
- in sinmdm choose the advanced option "Open CMD"
after pressing this command you will be at the root of the addon folder
-get inside the "SinMDM-main" folder
cd SinMDM-main
-save the bvh in the folder "save" inside the addon folder "CEB_SinMDM\save"
- use a command similar to this (changing the path to where you saved your animation '--sin_path', that is inside the addon folder)
python -m train.train_sinmdm --arch qna --dataset mixamo --save_dir ../0_new_model/sitting_laughing --sin_path ../save/sitting_laughing.bvh
- wait for it to finish, on rtx3090 it takes about 40 minutes
- copy the bvh used to train in the same folder as the model that was created
- update the args file to point to the bvh on the same folder
- pack in a zip file
-load on the SinMDM addon
